I went to a funeral a while back of a lovely woman who passed away much to soon. Her 20 year old daughter took the stand and stated the things she had learned from her mom. It was beautiful and made me wonder what my children would say they have learned from me.

I hope I taught them;

​They can do anything with their life, they just need to put the work into it and they will be amazed at what they can accomplish.

We only get one life and we DESERVE to be happy. Create your happiness, do not wait for others to do it for you. Other’s can enhance you life but it is completely within your power to make it wonderful.

Only allow positive people into your world. If they bring you down or make you less than you can be, love them and let them go!

Stand up for yourself, the people you love and the people who can’t do it for themselves. Everyone deserves a champion.

Do good with your life, give to others and share of your money, time and knowledge.

When you find true love you will know it, fight for it- it is worth it. When you are in a relationship that is not the right one, GET OUT there are better things waiting for you.

FAMILY COMES FIRST!

Always have fun, make memories and support one another.

I have been so blessed, my children have always been my world. The best thing I have ever done in this world is to be a mom. Being a Grandma & an Aunt come in a close second!

What I learned from my Mom:To love my family with all my heart and forgive any mistakes they make as part of the growing and learning process. (thankful she did that for me)To serve others, her life has been one of service, she is always helping others and would do anything to ease the burden of someone who is troubled.Bring the family together as much as possible, strengthen the ties.Patience and Love. When my children were young and I was just exhausted I would think of her never-ending patience with me and it would encourage me to do the same for them.

I never heard my parents argue or raise their voices! This was a huge lesson for me, stand together as a couple and you will always have strength (I wasn’t always good at it but at least I knew better)

What I learned from my Mother-in-lawUnlimited loyalty, she has been the Caregiver to so many in the family and she never complains, never falters and is the rock that holds everyone together.How to make it through the darkest times in my life, put on my armour and GO! No time to feel sorry for myself, no time to worry and cry- do what you need to do. You can take your armour off when the work is done.Family are the people who love you most, it’s not always about being related.

Every event is a celebration and every day is a gift, live your best life everyday and create your fun whenever you can.A mother-in-law can also be one of your best friends.

What I learned from the mother of my favorite man in the whole world, my husband TherionEven though your life may end at a young age, you can leave behind the teachings and life lessons that will help your children grow into wonderful people.

When life get’s difficult, they reach back to their memories and what mom taught them when they were young. You are still with them and guiding them from the other side.

That connection between a child and mother is never broken.

She raised a wonderful man who has compassion and peace in his heart. Never judges others or talks behind their back. He is true to his heart and believes in others will be the same.
